VEHICLE SECURITY
ALARM
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors
the doors, and trunk for unauthorized
entry and ignition switch for unau-
thorized operation.
While the Vehicle Security Alarm is
armed, interior switches for door
locks and decklid release are disabled.
If something triggers the alarm, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will sound the
horn intermittently, flash the head-
lights, the park lights, and the tail-
lights, and flash the Vehicle Security
Light in the cluster.
REARMING OF THE
SYSTEM
If something triggers the alarm, and
no action is taken to disarm it, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will turn off
the horn after three minutes, turn off
all of the visual signals after 15 min-
utes, and then the Vehicle Security
Alarm will rearm itself.TO ARM THE SYSTEM
1. Remove the keys from the ignition
switch and exit the vehicle.
2. Lock the doors by pressing the
power door lock switch or the LOCK
button on the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter.
NOTE: The Vehicle Security
Alarm will not arm if you lock the
doors with the manual door lock
plungers.
3. Close all doors. The Vehicle Secu-
rity Light in the instrument cluster
will flash rapidly for 16 seconds. This
shows that the Vehicle Security Alarm
is arming. After 16 seconds, the Ve-
hicle Security Light will flash slowly.
This shows that the Vehicle Security
Alarm is fully armed.
NOTE:
 During the 16–second arming
period, if a door is opened or the
ignition switch is turned to ON/
RUN, the Vehicle Security Alarm
will automatically disarm. 
While the Vehicle Security Alarm
is armed, interior switches for
door locks and decklid release are
disabled.TO DISARM THE SYSTEM
Either press the UNLOCK button on
the RKE transmitter or insert a valid
Sentry Key® into the ignition switch
lock cylinder and turn the key to the
ON/RUN or START position.
NOTE:
 The driver's door key cylinder
and the trunk button on the RKE
transmitter cannot arm or dis-
arm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
The Vehicle Security Alarm re-
mains armed during trunk entry.
Pressing the trunk button will not
disarm the Vehicle Security
Alarm. If someone enters the ve-
hicle through the trunk and opens
any door, the alarm will sound.When the Vehicle Security Alarm
is armed, the interior power door
lock switches will not unlock the
doors.
15

The Vehicle Security Alarm is de-
signed to protect your vehicle; how-
ever, you can create conditions where
the Vehicle Security Alarm will give
you a false alarm. If one of the previ-
ously described arming sequences has
occurred, the Vehicle Security Alarm
will arm regardless of whether you are
in the vehicle or not. If you remain in
the vehicle and open a door, the alarm
will sound. If this occurs, disarm the
Vehicle Security Alarm.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed
and the battery becomes discon-
nected, the Vehicle Security Alarm
will remain armed when the battery is
reconnected. The exterior lights will
flash, and the horn will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security
Alarm.
SECURITY MANUAL

The courtesy lights will turn on when
you press the unlock button on the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) trans-
mitter or open any door.
The interior lights will fade to off after
approximately 30 seconds or they will
immediately fade to off once the igni-
tion switch is turned to ON/RUN from
the OFF position.
NOTE:

console and door courtesy lights
will turn on if the dimmer con-
trol is in the "Dome ON" position
(extreme top position).

control is in the “Dome defeat”
position (extreme bottom posi-
tion).
REMOTE KEYLESS
ENTRY (RKE)
This system allows you to lock or
unlock the doors, open the trunk and
open the convertible top from dis-
tances up to approximately 10 m
using a hand-held Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter. The RKE

TRUNK SAFETY
WARNINGWARNING!
Do not allow children to have ac-
cess to the trunk, either by climbing
into the trunk from outside, or
through the inside of the vehicle.
Always close the trunk lid when
your vehicle is unattended. Once in
the trunk, young children may not
be able to escape, even if they en-
tered through the rear seat. If
trapped in the trunk, children can
die from suffocation or heat stroke.
TRUNK INTERNAL
EMERGENCY RELEASE
As a security measure, a Trunk Inter-
nal Emergency Release lever is built
into the trunk latching mechanism. In
the event of an individual being
locked inside the trunk, the trunk can
be simply opened by pulling on the
glow-in-the-dark handle attached to
the trunk latching mechanism. OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS
Some of the most important safety
features in your vehicle are the re-
straint systems:
 Three-point lap and shoulder belts
for all seating positions
 Advanced Front Air Bags for driver and front passenger
 Supplemental Active Head Re- straints (AHR) located on top of the
front seats (integrated into the head
restraint)
 Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB)
 An energy-absorbing steering col- umn and steering wheel  Knee bolsters/blockers for front
seat occupants
 Front seat belts incorporate preten- sioners that may enhance occupant
protection by managing occupant
energy during an impact event
 Rear passenger seat belts include Automatic Locking Retractors
(ALRs), which lock the seat belt
webbing into position by extending
the belt all the way out and then
adjusting the belt to the desired
length to restrain a child seat or
secure a large item in a seat.
Please pay close attention to the infor-
mation in this section. It tells you how
to use your restraint system properly,
to keep you and your passengers as
safe as possible.
If you will be carrying children too
small for adult-sized seat belts, the
seat belts or the ISOFIX feature also
can be used to hold infant and child
restraint systems. For more informa-
tion, refer to ISOFIX — Child Seat
Anchorage System.
Trunk Internal Emergency Release

NOTE: When using the ISOFIX
attaching system to install a child
restraint, please ensure that all
seat belts not being used for occu-
pant restraints are stowed and out
of reach of children. It is recom-
mended that before installing the
child restraint, buckle the seat belt
so the seat belt is tucked behind
the child restraint and out of
reach. If the buckled seat belt in-
terferes with the child restraint in-
stallation, instead of tucking the
seat belt behind the child re-
straint, route the seat belt through
the child restraint belt path and
then buckle it. This should stow
the seat belt out of the reach of an
inquisitive child. Remind all chil-
dren in the vehicle that the seat
belts are not toys and should not be
played with, and never leave your
child unattended in the vehicle.Installing The ISOFIX-
Compatible Child Restraint
System
We urge you to carefully follow the
directions of the manufacturer when
installing your child restraint. Not all
child restraint systems will be in-
stalled as described here. Again, care-
fully follow the installation instruc-
tions that were provided with the
child restraint system.
The rear seat lower anchor-
ages are round bars, located
at the rear of the seat cush-
ion where it meets the seat-
back, and are just visible when you
lean into the rear seat to install the
child restraint. You will easily feel
them if you run your finger along the
intersection of the seatback and seat
cushion surfaces.
In addition, there are tether
strap anchorages behind
each rear seating position.
Access ports to the tether an-
chors are located in the panel between
the rear seat and the rear window. The
tether anchors are underneath access covers in the carpet covering the back of
the seat where you see this symbol.
Many, but not all, restraint systems
will be equipped with separate straps
on each side, with each having a hook
or connector for attachment to the
lower anchorage and a means of ad-
justing the tension in the strap.
Forward-facing toddler restraints and
some rear-facing infant restraints will
also be equipped with a tether strap, a
hook for attachment to the tether
strap anchorage and a means of ad-
justing the tension of the strap.
You will first loosen the child seat
adjusters on the lower straps and on
the tether strap so that you can more
easily attach the hooks or connectors
to the vehicle anchorages. Next, at-
tach the lower hooks or connectors
over the top of the seat cover material.
Then, rotate the tether anchorage
cover directly behind the seat where
you are placing the child restraint,
push the tether strap and hook
through the access port and down into
the trunk. Open the access cover on
the carpet covering the back of the
seat and attach the tether strap hook
